Concrete Clouds is the student written and developed piece selected for this year's New Play Project. The play features work by Ball State students and focuses on two adolescent girls who see the same therapist. Concrete Clouds explores how lives can change for the better with a stroke of a paintbrush, the scribble of a pen, or perhaps, just having someone there to listen. Come join us for a story from this next generation of artists.

Winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for drama, Anna in the Tropics is set in 1929 Ybor City, a section of Tampa and the center of the cigar industry. Cigar factory owners continue the tradition brought from Cuba of hiring lectors to educate and entertain while the workers hand-roll cigars. Everyone is excited when a new lector is hired, but when he starts to read the Russian classic Anna Karenina, he unknowingly becomes a catalyst for the listeners, and their lives and relationships begin to spin out of control.
